We went to the Atlantic City seafood festival this afternoon and amongst all the seafood vendors, there was a mobile WFO. I was going to skip it, but my dad wanted to try it out. I think you guys have spoiled me with the way your Neo pies look! I did not like it at all. This was a plain Neo which was about 9" and was $7. After seeing what crap people are putting out around here, it makes me want to fire up a mobile WFO! Anyway, here are some pics of the pie. Let me know what you think.

I have been following John's Flirting With Fire thread. I know he does it right and his look nothing like the ones I have had recently. I hope to meet up with John one of these days since him and I are both in NJ.

John is a great guy and an first class pizza maker. It is no surprise what great success he is having.

I hate to say it, but there's plenty of Pepe's (New Haven) pizzas that look like this. This is my major issue with coal ovens- even in highly respected pizzerias with experienced oven guys, you can still end up with pizzas that look like this.

Thanks for the comments I too was in Park City Utah week before last and heard of a WFO guy doing Pizza I was all fired up ! I put on my FWF tee shirt and toke the lift Down to the parking lot followed the smakoe and was shocked at what was being put forth as Pizza! I told the one workers what I do and I asked the guy afew simple questions to feel him out.Do You make the dough ?Yes I made it last night and ROLLED it all out ?? this was 11:00 am the next day !What kind of flour do you use?I am not sure ?Do youmake the sauce ?I use a pasta sauce and add a few things to it What kind of cheese you use?The stuff in the big bag ? oh dear , this was getting worse! I shelled out my 3 bucks ! for a plain slice and almost pucked on the first bite so much oregano I tasted it for 2 hours !!! HORRIBLE ! Why do you put so much oreganoMy boss telld me to put alot on ??

cant even identify what the heck was on the one ! had to ask !So turns out he makes about 25 in the morning then puts them in individual box and when someone orders takes it out of the box heats it up and puts it back inthe box ??/oh boy ! heres the kicker daid he does about 200 at the concert up on the hill friday night WOW These people and give us mobile guys a bad Name with this Garbage "wood fired Pizz" chaze welcome to meet anytime ! check out this yumminess

One question, was this pizza advertised as Neapolitan? Just because it's made in a WFO doesn't mean its Neapolitan.

It sure was! And even if it wasnt, that was one UGLY looking/tasting pie!

John: I would love to meet up at some point to see your operation and see first hand what a real Neo pie looks like instead of the crap I have been getting recently! I know its coming to the end of the season for you, but I know you said you had a gig down at the TR Yacht Club. Let me know when you have a date for this event.

Thats a rolling dump. Its actually very sad. Someone put a whole lot of cash into that thing and obviously knows nothing about the business. It just amazes me how people can jump from "hey thats a pretty good pizza bob" to..." lets make some money with this pizza". there is so much that goes into any business and you have to be fully engaged to make it work. Really sad as that is probably someones dream up in smoke (literally).

ps... I know someone said something about these guys making some money... but I can just look at that rig and the product and tell you that business is on the ropes.

that's just BURNT plain and simple.. and the cheese looks like bought frozen cheedar, I am sorry I can buy better frozen pizzas than that..

that pizza should not have been put out for sale..

that young kid making the pies, maybe he gets away with it with drunk customers.. I don't know , maybe the kid was a rookie and just trying to figure out the craft, so I might not hurt his feelings, just walk away with the pie and then dump it in the trash, or maybe I might tell him to step up his game..but anyway, that is a bad pizza..
